From Rust Belt to Artist Belt

The Community Partnership for Arts and Culture in Cleveland just puplished a 78-page white paper entitled From Rust Belt to Artist Belt. According to the organization, the report demonstrates "the strategy between artists and neighborhoods in revitalizing the Rust Belt. This report contains information relevant to public policy leaders, funders, artists, community development professionals, arts and culture organizations, and all who are interested in renewing Rust Belt communities. It not only details the unique issues faced by the region, but offers a plan of attack for capitalizing on its assets, including a discussion on Artist-Based Community Development efforts already underway."
